Читать книгу A Theory and Treatment of Your Personality - Garry Flint - Страница 14

One month after I completed the Thought Field Therapy diagnostic training with Callahan (1993), I received an incredible learning experience from another patient. This woman came into my office complaining of feeling incapable of handling her financial problems. I used the Callahan diagnostic and treatment techniques to treat the belief: “I can’t control or manage my life.” She immediately had the insight that her boyfriend was reinforcing her feeling of being incapable. While I was talking to her about this possibility, she said, “I feel this tickle on my upper lip.” I asked her subconscious, “Subconscious, are you trying to tell my patient to tap on her lip?” The subconscious said “yes” by raising the index finger. I had the patient tap on her upper lip. We continued talking.

Again, she felt a series of sensations at different points on her head and face. I inquired again, and the subconscious told her to tap on the points where she felt the tickles. At one point, she said, “Oh, God. They’re going too fast! They’re going too fast!” I said, “Hold it, subconscious. Hold it.” I asked the subconscious if she could do the tapping on the inside to treat the trauma while the patient just sat. The subconscious said, “Yes.” I asked the subconscious if she would do it. The subconscious said, “Yes.” Consequently, the patient sat there with her left arm on her lap and her right arm pointed up. After a minute or so, she said, “Wow! All this energy is flowing out of my fingertips.” She said that she felt clearheaded and capable, and knew what she wanted to do to resolve her present financial predicament. I believe her subconscious had completed treating some traumatic history having to do with competence. The subconscious, to my surprise, had learned to treat internally. This experience showed me that it was possible to have the subconscious treat a patient’s issue without my intervention.
